Breach of Preliminary Real Property Sale Agreement and Subsequent Damages
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of real property was signed, with the final deed execution scheduled for a specific date, but before that date, one party renounced the commitment; the trial court found that the unilateral renunciation, which was not authorized by the terms of the preliminary agreement, constituted a breach justifying the nullification of the sale and the ordering of restitution and damages, and the high court upheld this decision, reasoning that the preliminary agreement created a binding obligation to complete the sale, and the unilateral withdrawal without justification amounted to a failure to perform that obligation, validating the lower court's remedy.
